“Aimee was amazing. We were a bit hesitant, as we've never used Rover before, but she was so welcoming and helpful. She came on-time, every time, and cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!”
“Monica is an outstanding cat sitter! She goes above and beyond to care for my senior cats, ensuring they're not only well-fed but have clean drinking water in their fountain. One of my cats craves physical attention, and Monica took the time to hold and carry her, making her so happy she purred! She also made sure to find my shy cat, which really put me at ease. Monica sends detailed updates with amazing photos at each visit, giving me priceless peace of mind. Her dedication, care, and love for my girls are truly exceptional. I highly recommend Monica!”
“Riley is amazing. She took such great care of our dogs. Very detailed and thoughtful. She’s exactly what you want out of a dog walker, if not more.”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“first time using shannon and she was wonderful! came over for a meet and greet and she was super friendly and prompt. she sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. will be using her again”
“Jenny was great! Our cats were struggling with hairballs for a bit but she was super attentive and communicative. Would recommend and have her sit our girls again.”
“Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.”
“Maria was wonderful to work with! Super communicative and had no problem with administering pills for our Junie. It’s so nice to feel 100% confident that your cat will be well cared for while you’re away. Hire Maria!”
“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”
“Simone was great! She was right on time, did all the little things we asked of her, and most importantly, played a lot with our very energetic pup! She also provided lots of fun pics and videos.”

“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”
“Keira was able to help me out in a pinch! She was very responsive and took great care car of my feline friend.”
“Skyler has been an absolute blessing to our family! Not only does she take great care of our pup, but she also aids us in his training while we are away. She is very knowledgeable about animals, and she has a huge heart. She has also been very patient as our dog is just a few months old! She keeps us in the loop too :)”
